NICOLE ANDERSON-SOTO - 3 Months>3 pounds/ Accused: Parents - Oklahoma City OK

Two Oklahoma City parents have been charged with second-degree
murder after their three-month-old baby died weighing only THREE pounds.

Alysha Marie Anderson, 19, and Miguel Antonio Soto, 20, were arrested
for severely neglecting their once healthy baby girl, Nicole, who weighed half of what she did at birth.

Doctors from the Southwest Medical Center had informed the police of
the underweight baby, informing the authorities that little Nicole had
been a victim of severe neglect.

“They said the child was so thin you could actually see her ribs through her skin,”
said Sgt. Jennifer Wardlow in a Daily Mail report.
The baby was healthy at birth, weighing 6 lbs., 8 oz., said doctors.

The baby was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Oklahoma City Police initially charged the pair three counts of neglect then with second-degree murder on June 5.
